Nope, we haven’t just popped out two more kids and changed our no-pet policy! It’s a blog (and a great one at that – voted SA’s best parenting blog in 2015) that a friend sent me to read as she (Cindy also!) features mixed race families in the effort to eradicate racism in our country.
I’m a fairly private person – yes, I write this blog, but I’m pretty certain no one reads it and I’m ok with that! It’s more of a creative outlet or hobbit for me than something I take too seriously so I don’t mind if it’s out there just for me! But I felt somehow compelled to share our story on “3 kids, 2 dogs and an old house” to show people how normal and beautiful mixed race fanilies are. I’m so glad that I made the (conscious and throughly thought through) decision to start dating my now husband. I can’t imagine how my life would have turned out had I not taken the decision to date someone from outside of my race.
